An LED that emits light of wavelength λ = 614 nm illuminates the phototube. A reverse bias is applied to the phototube (a voltage that opposes the current flow). This is adjusted carefully until the photocurrent drops to zero. The stopping potential is found to be Vo = 0.162 V.
The LED can now be changed and the process repeated for a different λ. Then the data can be plotted to determine Planck's constant, h.
For the data collected above what value would you plot on the x-axis of your graph? (Use c = 3.00 x 108m/s.)
Express your answer in SI units to 3 significant figures.
Entering numbers in scientific notation: Example: 1.45 x 10-9 should be entered as 1.45E-9

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.0 MeV makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude L=p0b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.30×10−12 m . (Assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. The atomic number of lead is 82. The alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.)

The heat capacity, Cp, of liquid carbon disulfide is a relatively constant 78J(molK). However, the heat capacity of solid carbon disulfide varies greatly with temperature. From 99K to its melting point at 161K, the heat capacity of solid carbon disulfide increases linearly from 44 J/(molK) to 57 J/(molK).
The enthalpy of fusion of carbon disulfide is 4390 J/mol.
The absolute entropy of liquid carbon disulfide at 298K is 151 K/(molK).
Estimate the absolute entropy of carbon disulfide at 99K.

An arrow strikes the target at the end of a 27-meter-long lane. It lands at an angle of 4 degrees below the horizontal. What is the initial velocity at which the arrow was launched? Assume that the initial velocity toward the target is entirely horizontal and the angel of the arrow in the target is the direction of the final velocity.

3 boxes, having masses m1=5kg, m2=10kg and m3=15 kg are stacked "sideways" (i.e., in x-) on a surface with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.7 muk; an external force of magnitude 15 N pushes on the right-most box, making an angle of 30 degrees relative to the horizontal; a second force of magnitude 20 N pushes in the opposite direction on the left-most box, as a result of which all three accelerate uniformly. Determine the numerical value all of the forces acting on each of the boxes (including all normal forces between the boxes), as well as the amount the boxes have moved after a time of 7 seconds. Keep in mind that the normal force acting specifically on the box subject to the external force is changed by the external force...
